Kimkun

Kimkun (김건), born February 6, 2007, in South Korea, is the face and visual of NAZE under C9 Entertainment. One of the youngest members of the group, he was revealed as NAZE's second member on June 20, 2025, just one day after the group's formation was first announced. He previously trained at a major Korean entertainment company before joining C9, bringing polish and stage instinct beyond his years. Kimkun is known within NAZE for his positive energy, outgoing personality, and passion for performance. His infectious enthusiasm makes him a natural presence onstage and in fan interactions, and he is regularly cited for his standout visuals among the group's seven members. He holds the distinction of being among the youngest in a lineup that spans nationalities from South Korea, Japan, and Thailand. In 2026, Kimkun made his acting debut in the TBS drama DREAM STAGE, a co-production between TBS, C9 Entertainment, and CJ ENM Japan that aired from January 16 to March 6, 2026. The drama follows trainees working toward their debut and served as NAZE's primary pre-debut platform. The group released four OSTs across the drama's run -- Wanderlust, BABYBOO, Little Star, and Isn't She Lovely? -- before confirming their official debut for May 2026.
